<div class="quote_poster">christhn Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">source: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/col...%26id%3d2907610</div> This is the worst summer for McHale to finally decide to listen to offers for KG. The Lakers are a mess right now, and two potential pieces in trying to acquire KG (Odom & Kwame) are both recovering from surgery. A team like Chicago or Phoenix has to be licking their chops right now. They are in position to land either Kobe or KG this summer.
An anyalist on ESPN suggested the Lakers going after KG with Bynum, Odom, and Radmonovic. He said that would calm Kobe down. I doubt this would happen. There so many better offers for KG by other teams.
KG hasn't demanded anything, and also- KG doesn't have a trade clause like Kobe so while he can kindly suggest somewhere, he can't control it. Honestly, this ENTIRE thing could be fixed if KG just asked to be traded to the Lakers. I know that KG isn't a cureall for LA but they would still be pretty good
I'm sure Kobe would feel better with KG on his side. lol. I know I would. man, this is gonna be a offseason to remember!!!

ESPN said that KG may go to Boston for about 6 players which is a lot.Having KG with Kobe will calm him down because he is another superstar better than JO.
As much as I would LOVE to see Kobe and KG IN LA together, it's not happening. Perhaps a Kobe for KG deal?
KG for Kobe? lol, They would be in the same boat with different teams. I honestly think a KG and Kobe deal can be made at this point..
KG + Marko Jaric + Ricky Davis for Kobe + Kwame Lakers: PG: Jaric SG: Ricky Davis SF: Odom PF: KG C: Bynum Minnesota PG: Foye SG: McCants SF: Kobe PF: Howard / Blount C: Kwame / Blount

KG and Kareem......oooohhh. I wouldn't mind seeing KG and Kobe together because that would make them instant WCF......but KG and Kareem......oooohhhh. I would think that it would look like a bad trade for the Wolves here. KG, Bynum, and Odom. Walton is still there too. Legitimate triple towers. How could they stop the triangle when you can go over them. Kobe would never make this happen because he'd be in a worse situation. As a Wolves fan, I'd be against it. I would love Turiaf though, he's a great guy.
<div class="quote_poster">Bacon Smeller Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">^^ In that trade Kobe is sent to Minnesota and KG is sent to La</div> Yep. So you don't think Odom, KG, and Bynum would intimidate anyone? No Tony Parker with a ridiculous amount of points in the paint. Oh yeah......KG and Kareem.....ooohhhh. If you're Kobe first, you'd hate this idea. But if you're Lakers first, how can you not love it?

<div class="quote_poster">Bacon Smeller Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Oh yea Parker is the best!! Parker <u>SUCKS</u> </div> Parker must really suck to have the highest duo with Duncan for points in the paint, Finals M.V.P., All-Star, and Eva is fine. Yeah, he sucks.
